Sram transmission chain not seating on 3rd gear

[Mteam]

That literally shouldn't work with the cassette spacing/offset.

I know that's what sram say, but I can confirm it works fine, I used the micro adjust to move the mech 2 'clicks' in board, and it seems perfectly fine.

There are plenty of other people on you tube etc that have done the same with a variety of other cassettes, shimano 12 speed, sram regular eagle 12 speed etc, some spaced the cassette out with a small spacer on the hub, others just used the micro adjust.

Awesome!

The clutch on the old AXS was garbage, I would eventually get bad chain slap on just about every bike I had it on. I had 5 derailleurs replaced under warranty between 3 bikes. The only one that hasn’t been replaced at least once is my wife’s bike because it’s barely been ridden, she was back to back pregnant

I’m running the transmission on 3 bikes now. Two of the bikes have a 55mm chain line and it’s awesome on those bikes, the third has a 52mm chain line. The 52mm chain line bike has had a few issues with rough shifting, micro adjust will only work for so long before I have to go back through the whole set-up procedure.

Interesting. Never had an issue. Probably has to do with suspension design/kinematics. I spend 95% of my riding miles on my Santa Cruz Hightower w/XX1 AXS. And my Borealis is a hardtail with GX AXS.

So just to update anyone who's interested regarding 3rd gear not playing nice on my Canyon Spectral ON. I called SRAM customer service, they told me the usual and obvious troubleshooting practices, such as torquing down the cassette and making sure the notches on the RD are lined up. I told them I did that, and they told me to take it into a shop. So I did that. My LBS tech told me that the cassette looked too close to the drop out, and he put a 1mm spacer to offset. Then he microshifted all the way to the 1 setting, and it works fine now. He told me that he intalls transmission regularly and hasn't seen anything like that. Since my frame is a 2020 model, he thinks Canyon may have designed it with UDH, but not necessarily for it to have clearance for transmission (especially since transmission was not announced yet). He said that there's possibly other frames out there that has UDH but lacks proper clearance for transmission.

I recently damaged my regular axs derailleur and because they don't sell replacement cages for it, I needed to get a new one so figured I'd go for t type given that my frame (trek fuel exe) supports it.

I just bought the derailuer on its own, so kept all my old stuff, which is a standard (not flat top) gx chain, garbaruk 12 speed cassette on shimano microspline hub, some generic narrow wide chain ring, and the old axs shifter. It all works nicely together, so it seems to me that you don't need to up grade the whole drive train.

I'm sure I'm not getting the full benefit of full power under load shifting(but it does seem pretty good still) and I'm sure sram would say to buy the whole lot if I was experiencing problems, but it seems fine to me so far

Hello,

I saw that the garbaruk cassette isn't compatible with e-bike, I am wondering if you had any issue...

Cheers

I have no personal experience with this cassette but it seems a little “light-duty” for the amount of torque that can be applied by an e- motor.

The manufacturers of e-mtb’s may be reluctant to recommend such a cassette.

I’ve ridden the transmission setup since the first week it was available. 3rd gear was a bit finicky to setup, but once dialed in it has worked flawlessly ever since. Until last week when I did a firmware update. Shifting went to shit, especially that 3rd cog. Gotta love technology.

Been meaning to check back in with this thread. My transmission shifting issues were almost 100% related to cracks in the swingarms of my Pole Voima. The cracks were causing my rear wheel to flex a ton laterally under load which must have been throwing off chain alignment.

Was one of the few to receive the redesigned replacement swingarms before Pole went belly up. No shifting issues whatsoever with the new ones.
